A few quick announcements and some microphone clip art regarding the Vida Vegan Bloggers Conference coming in August 2011.

We’ve had a lot of suggestions and emails about speaking these past few weeks, and they warm our vegan hearts.

We’ve spent hours—no, days!—on the great vegan internets, bookmarking, making lists, searching out contact information, and seeking recommendations for our grand panel of speakers. Best research ever, right?

Have you seen the confirmed list? It’s really that grand. And the deadline for our invited speakers to confirm isn’t until November 1. Thank you guys for the support!

That being said, we are no longer accepting applications to speak at the first Vida Vegan Con. We simply don’t have room on the busy schedule—but if you email us, we’re happy to keep you in mind for wherever Vida Vegan Con is in 2012! And of course, you’re encouraged to attend.

Worried about the price? We’re still accepting applications for two Scholarship spots that cover weekend registration. Check out the details & tell us your story.

Updated Conference Agenda coming next week.

More to come on our official Vegan Map of Portland! This city is considered a vegan mecca, and all that jazz. This map will be handed to each and every attendee and will be handy during after-hours excursions.
